Hello I think this is the right forum for the questions I have?

Anyway I was living in the states for around 4 years and I have just recently returned home for good. I was wondering if anyone knew if US driver licence will be valid in the UK? I did not have a licence in the UK before I left.

Thanks

I would guess no, but I don't have much to back it up except something that the government calls "reciprocity" and I call "####### for tat" since most states in the US don't accept the UK license, UK is not likely to accept the US license.

As a resident of the United States, visiting your old home country England, you can use your US driver license. Once you become a resident of the UK again, you are expected to get a UK driver license. To the best of my knowledge, they will not accept your US license for transfer, meaning you'll have to start over again.

A bit unrelated, my European pilot's license was transferred into a US license without any problems, but somebody with a US license cannot get a European one. The reasoning behind this is simple: the requirements in Europe are much stricter and the training is much more through than in the States. Makes sense.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Once you become a resident of the UK you still have one year before your US license is invalid at which point you have to take the written test, the hazard awareness whatever you call it test, and finally the practical test.

(Just don't do as I did and wait until the 10th month to start the process...it makes for a tight squeeze)
